From Neurosurgeon Aspirations to Tech Startup

Manuri Gunawadina, who initially planned to become a neurosurgeon, found herself building a tech startup instead. She developed a platform that accelerates the process of bringing new treatments and medications to market. Despite her initial interest in science, it was an autobiography of a neurosurgeon that inspired her to pursue medicine. Through her medical training and experiences, Manuri's focus shifted towards addressing the inefficiencies in clinical trials and the difficulty patients face in accessing them. This prompted her to start Health Match, a platform connecting patients with clinical trials.
